The next release of Microsoft's Virtual Server product will support the virtualization of both Linux and Sun Microsystems Inc.'s Solaris operating systems on servers running the Microsoft Windows operating system (OS), a company spokesman said in an interview Wednesday.
Microsoft on Wednesday also announced a new name for the next interim release of the product, formerly called Virtual Server 2005 Service Pack 1. Microsoft is now calling it Virtual Server 2005 R2, news unveiled by Microsoft in a keynote by Pat Gelsinger, senior vice president and general manager of Intel’s Digital Enterprise Group, at the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) in San Francisco.
Microsoft changed the name because the release will include significantly more enhancements than a usual service pack, said Zane Adam, director of marketing in the Windows Server division of Microsoft. The software giant typically offers service packs and interim releases called "R2s" between major updates to its server products.

But what began as a modest programming effort -- just a hobby, Torvalds once said -- has grown beyond the stage of a few maverick users thumbing their noses at Microsoft. In Asia, for example, shipments of Linux server licenses grew by 36% in 2004, while shipments of client licenses rose 49%, IDC says.
So, for this special report, we fanned out beyond U.S. shores to find out who's using Linux and why. Some of the deployments are quite substantial: The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China plans to use Linux for all front-end banking operations, Banca Popolare di Milano in Italy is rolling out 4,500 Linux desktops, and LVM Insurance in Germany has Linux on 7,700 desktops and 30 servers, for example.
